In just my third year of teaching I was already feeling burned out, overwhelmed, anxious and defeated. I had so many days when I wanted to quit. I'd cry at night, cry at work, and constantly feel caught up in the things that I couldn't control. All of those feelings (which are completely valid, by the way) started to shift when I deepened my mindfulness practice.
I realized that although there were A LOT of things in education that were out of my control, what I could control was my breathing, my awareness and my intentions. That's when the magic started. I read books, listened to podcasts, attended trainings and earned my 200hr Yoga Teacher certification through Asheville Yoga Center. I intentionally practiced mindfulness in my personal life and brought it into my classroom as well, with morning mindfulness, mindful moments, yoga breaks, and more (which are all included in my mindfulness course, Teach with Peace). These mindful practices elevated my teaching and transformed my classroom community.
You may be thinking "I hear about this mindfulness stuff all the time but meditation, yoga, and deep breathing just isn't for me!" Or, "I've tried mindfulness. Nothing happened. It didn't work." If you've felt that way before, I can totally relate. When I first started practicing mindfulness I had this false idea that something magical would instantly happen and my life would be changed forever!
While mindfulness IS magical, the magic doesn't happen over night. It's called mindfulness practice for a reason--it takes practice, which is why I designed Teach with Peace to help teachers like you begin or deepen a mindfulness practice that works for YOU. Being a teacher is unlike any other profession which is why I created this mindfulness course specifically FOR educators, with resources that you can bring into your classroom no matter what grade you teach! Mindfulness practice transformed my personal and professional life as well as the lives of my students. I know it can do the same for you.
